Yashica Yashica-Mat 124
The Yashica-Mat 124 is a medium-format twin-lens reflex camera produced by Yashica in Japan, taking 6x6cm frames on 120 roll film. Introduced in the late 1960s, it sat in the affordable end of the TLR market, offering a built-in CdS light meter as an alternative to pricier German TLRs.
At UK auction today, hammer prices for the Yashica-Mat 124 have recently landed in a tight £88–£100 band across the two sales on record, with a median around £94. Because these are saleroom hammer results rather than dealer retail, a clean, fully working example with an accurate meter and clear viewing screen tends to sell for more, and condition is what the value hinges on.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Yashica-Mat 124 worth today?
Recent UK auction hammer prices sit in the £88–£100 range, so a working example typically sells for around £90–£100 at saleroom level, with clean, meter-accurate bodies at the top of that band.
How much does a Yashica-Mat 124 sell for at UK auction?
The two most recent hammer results were £88 and £100, giving a median price near £94 before buyer's premium is added.
Is the Yashica-Mat 124 the same as the 124G?
No. The 124 is the earlier model in the series; the later 124G is a separate variant and is generally priced independently in the used market.
What affects the value of a Yashica-Mat 124?
Lens clarity, shutter accuracy, a functioning CdS meter and a clean focusing screen are the main drivers; cosmetic wear and missing caps or cases pull prices toward the lower end of the range.
